Grief & Bereavement Therapy

Grief and bereavement are deeply personal, challenging emotional journeys. While bereavement refers specifically to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, grief is the multifaceted emotional reaction to any form of significant loss. 

Both conditions encompass an intense range of emotions, including fear, anger, frustration, and profound sadness.The process of adapting to a loss changes dramatically from person to person. Your journey depends heavily on your unique background, personal beliefs, and relationship to the person who passed. 

Common Symptoms of Grief & Bereavement 

Physical

• Crying and sighing
• Headaches
• Loss of appetite
• Difficulty sleeping
• Weakness
• Fatigue

Emotional

• Feelings of sadness and yearning
• Feelings of worry or anger
• Feelings of frustration or guilt

Social

• Feeling detached from others
• Self-isolation from social contact
• Behaving in ways that are not normal for you

Every grieving experience is different. A person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine after one loss, yet not be able to get out of bed after the loss of someone else. Whatever your personal symptoms are, grief and bereavement counseling have been proven to help.
